i had a copper coil fitted 28th feb at uni gp and i have now moved home, since then my periods have been all over the place almost every 2 weeks but now ive been bleeding for 16days and i have lower abdomen pain, including backpain some times and im getting really worried, doctor wont check me because of covid-19 issues. I also am unsure if i can feel my strings, i dont know if i should wait until the coil is in 3 months or what, please help !

Dear aduffy,
Did you and your partner get a full sexual health (STD) screen in February, when you had the coil inserted?
Please read my post to 'geothe' describing how to feel for coil threads.
If you can't see your GP, do you think you could see your local family planning/sexual health clinic instead? You may have to ring them this morning to make an urgent appointment and persuade them that it's not simply a routine coil check, as you now have bleeding and abdominal pain...and can't feel the threads(?).
And if you were not screened for STDs in February, get it done when you attend.
Rgds,
Adhari.
